The third one has seen major changes to the spell system.- All spells are point-based. The higher a spell level, the more points are needed to cast it. The number of spell points depends on caster level and his related spell casting ability (INT for wizards, CHA for bards, WIS for clerics and druids). Spells are not prepared for the day anymore. Any spell a caster knows is available to him as long as he has enough points to cast it. The sorceror and the wizard class are merged to one class. Spell points are regenerated after resting 8 hours, following a regeneration table and rolling d4/caster level. If a spellcaster has used all his spell points, it is very likely that he won't regenerate all of them after resting a night. Roughly 70% of spell points are regenerated per rest.   - Level 1: 1 point   - Level 2: 2 points   - Level 3: 4 points   - Level 4: 7 points   - Level 5: 10 points   - Level 6: 14 points   - Level 7: 19 points   - Level 8: 24 points   - Level 9: 30 points   A spell that deals dice and level dependant damage (e.g. Magic Missile, Fireball,...) is treated a bit different. A fireball is available at wizard level 5, it would deal 5d6 damage for 4 points. A wizard at level 10 could cast a 10d6 fireball for 6.5 points, because each additional damage dice cost 0.5 more to the spell's base cost. Of course, the level 10 wizard could cast only a 5d6 or 7d6 fireball if he wishes. Same for Magic Missile: 1 point at level 1, 3 points at level 9. Adding a metamagic feat to a spell increases the casting time by a move-equivalent action (except quicken spell and metamagic feats that don't move a spell in a higher level) and increases the point cost for that spell.- Some spells have been changed (Teleport, Time Stop, a handful spells from Magic of Faerûn).- Domain spells cost no points, the slots are regained after the daily prayer and spells don't need to be prepared. Each domain has four opposed spells, which are not available to the cleric. A cleric with the healing and sun domains may not cast harm and darkness, for example.- Spell DCs are 1d20+level+ability bonus (INT, WIS, or CHA bonus).- Spell duration: 1 hour/level has been decreased to 10 min/level for most spells.- Cure / Inflict Wounds: These spells replace the old Cure / Inflict XXX wounds (except domain spells). It's a level 1 spell (for clerics, druids and paladins) and works similar to damage dealing spells: A level 1 cleric can cure 1d4+1 points of damage for 1 point, a level 10 cleric 10d4+10 for 5.5 points.- The rogue. Only one sneak attack per round. He gets one bonus feat every 4 levels from a bonus feat list (similar to the fighter) plus his special abilities (see ed. 3.0).- The bard. No cure / remove spells. More songs (depends on his level, up to 15 different songs, IIRC), eshew materials for all bardic spells, evasion + improved evasion (see rogue), bardic music becomes extraordinary at level 20 (activation requires still a standard action).  - The druid. We're using the wild shape version in Masters of the Wild. The druid is proficient with short bows, trident, spears, sling, clubs, dagger, net, blow guns, natural weapons, sickle.- Dodge grants +1 to AC against all foes.- Item creation feats: Craft wondrous item allows also creation of rings, craft rods, staffs, wands has become one feat.- Read Lips is still a separate skill. Perform is splitted into different types and class skill only for the bard.- AC increases each time you get an additional attack (from high BAB): +1 for the second attack, +2 for the third, +4 for the fourth. This bonus stacks with all other AC bonuses.</blockquote>
